DENVER (AP) — Aaron Gordon isn’t just the Denver Nuggets’ defensive stalwart, he’s their jump starter.Gordon hounded Jimmy Butler into one of his worst playoff performances Thursday night, but it was on the offensive end that he really sparked the Nuggets’ 104-93 win over the Miami Heat in the franchise’s first NBA Finals appearance in its 47-year history.“Aaron really kind of set the tone on both ends of the floor for us,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said after Gordon muscled his way past smaller defenders in the paint to score 16 points while also helping to hold Butler to just 13 points on 6-of-14 shootng.Gordon did most of his offensive work in the first quarter, scoring a dozen points on 6-of-8 shooting and pulling down four of his six rebounds as the Nuggets shook off a 10-day layoff to win their seventh straight playoff game and improve to 13-3 in the postseason and an NBA-best 43-7 at home.Then, he spent the rest of the night making sure Butler...

Inside Europe’s Parliament of bullies

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:20:49 GMT

EU authorities have repeatedly failed to protect victims of bullying by powerful politicians, amid a culture of indifference toward harassment within the European Parliament, a major POLITICO investigation reveals. A picture built up over four months, based on dozens of interviews and confidential documents, showed a system in crisis that has left junior staffers scarred by years of abuse. Witnesses and victims, who were granted anonymity to speak candidly, described feeling “physically and mentally dead” or even suicidal as a result of harassment, and suffering anxiety and sleep deprivation as they waited for several months — or longer — for their complaints to be processed. One likened the experience of the delays to waiting like “prisoners on death row.” Some insiders said the scale of bullying within the headquarters of EU democracy was “out of control” while others alleged they had suffered sexual harassment and said “mind games” were rife. Often, it was eas...

Mayor says Coronado's approach to homelessness works, but would it across the bay?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:20:49 GMT

CORONADO, Calif. -- As homelessness continues to increase in San Diego, there's one mayor in San Diego County who believes he may have the right approach. The latest homeless count from the Downtown San Diego Partnership in April showed a record high number of nearly 2,000. But across the bay, it's a different story.Coronado Mayor Richard Bailey says his city is tough on homelessness, and the latest data reflects it, showing the count is zero there. Were homeless people told to move to the Beverly Hills area? "We have to at least come to an understanding that the policies that have been in place region-wide, and also throughout the state of California, have really failed the homeless population and they've also failed the surrounding communities," he said to FOX 5 on Thursday.Bailey believes his three-step approach could be used in other areas, and that geography isn't one of the solutions. Those steps include:Starting to use real-time data to show where shelter beds are available...

PALMYRA, Syria (AP) — At the height of the Islamic State group’s rampage across Syria, the world watched in horror as the militants blew up an iconic arch and temple in the country’s famed Roman ruins in Palmyra.Eight years later, IS has lost its hold but restoration work on the site has been held up by security issues, leftover IS land mines and lack of funding.Other archaeological sites throughout Syria face similar problems, both in areas held by the government and by the opposition. They were damaged by the war or, more recently, by the deadly 7.8-magnitude earthquake that struck a wide area of neighboring Turkey and also Syria in February.Youssef Kanjou, a former director of Syria’s Aleppo National Museum, said the situation of heritage sites in his country is a “disaster.”Without a coordinated preservation and restoration effort, said Kanjou, now a researcher at Tübingen University in Germany, “We will lose what was not destroyed by the war or the earthquake....
